Poor little Hammish! We had to take him to the vet on Friday for an incredibly itchy raised spot on his tail. The diagnosis: a hot spot. No big deal you say? Well, think again! This poor baby has to be on antibiotics for a whole month as well as have a cream applied to the hot spot until it gets better; not to mention the shame of having the middle section of his tail shaved.
You're welcome for not taking a close up of the hot spot. It is a bit icky. Now, to add insult to injury, poor Hammy has to wear a cone for a whole week so he won't chew on the offending spot. Friday night, he was so miserable, I just couldn't bear to put on the old, hard, plastic cone we had from his leg surgeries. By Saturday morning I realized he really needed a cone as he took some little nibbles now and then the night before. We went shopping for a new cone. I just wanted to get a flexible, light weight plastic cone, when lo and behold we found this:
It's "The Comfy Cone"!! A very soft, flexible cone made of foam and covered in a washable nylon fabric. You can fold it down so your pet can eat and drink; it's soft and cushy so they can sleep in comfort; pets can fit thru doorways and walk by furniture with out getting stuck or bumping into things; it folds flat for easy storage and it has reflective binding on it so your pet can be seen at night! With the Comfy Cone, "feeling bad never felt so good!" If I can't convince you, this guy sure can:
Hammish is not quite as happy about the Comfy Cone as I am, but rest assured, he is much more comfy!

Hammy looks sad and depressed but he knows you love him and that it is for his own good.
Poor Hammy! You should have gotten a neon green or orange cone. That would have been cool! Awesome post, btw.
